What's new in 2.3.1: • Podcasts: filter an episode list by Played / Unplayed with one tap. Episode titles drop the redundant "033 -" prefix so the actual title gets the room it deserves. Newest-first sorting stays put. • Widgets pick up the cover. Medium and large Discovery widgets now sit on a blurred version of the album cover instead of flat black, and the artwork rotates once an hour — not on every app switch. • Live radio shows what's actually playing. When a station broadcasts metadata, Now Playing and the Lock Screen show the current song and artist instead of just the station name. • CarPlay Library is complete. Album Artists, Artists, Genres, Songs, Radios and Favourites are all reachable from the car. Scrobble actions land in the CarPlay UI too. • Listen Later is now silently provisioned on first connect and consolidates across all your devices. No more duplicate "Listen Later" playlists piling up in the MA backend. • Pinch to zoom the cover, then drag it around with one finger to find the detail you wanted to see. • Settings is now nine logical sections instead of a wall of toggles. Mobile MA Unlimited stays at the top, Connection & Diagnostics is a proper block, and the developer egg is still hidden behind five taps. • Music Assistant 2.9 features: decoded source format and M3U playlist export are picked up where the server offers them. Fixes: • Now Playing no longer duplicates the artist name in the title field for tracks that came from the server with "Artist - Title" pre-pasted. • The playback progress bar stops cleanly when you stop the queue. • Developer-menu IAP reset actually resets the entitlement — the previous reset was undone within seconds by an auto-refresh. • Failed In-App Purchase attempts now surface a localised toast instead of silently snapping back. • CarPlay favourites no longer fall out of the heart toggle state.```

What's new in 2.3: • Discovery widget on the Home Screen refreshes when it should. New albums and artists appear without restarting the app. • CarPlay works even before you open Mobile MA. Album artwork shows for tracks and radio stations. The heart button gives instant feedback. • Mark podcast episodes as played or reset their progress straight from the episode list. A check or a small progress bar tells you where each episode stands. • Listen Later is now a polished tab in Favorites — covers on every row, pull-to-refresh, and the playlist is rediscovered automatically after a fresh install. • Auto-reconnect after Wi-Fi → cellular handoffs, returning the app to the foreground, or brief network drops. • Long-press a track in any album or playlist to start playback from that point. • Album, artist and playlist detail views now tint their backgrounds with the cover's dominant colour. Fixes: • Widget no longer freezes on a stale image. • Marking podcast episodes as played no longer throws an error. • Tapping a radio favorite on Home now opens the player view. • Album favorite rows are aligned. • Repeat-1 and Next-track no longer make the Now Playing layout jump. • Dynamic Island clears when playback stops. • Listen Later cover art renders correctly. • CarPlay Now Playing artwork loads. • In-app purchase "Mobile MA Unlimited" approval flow fixed.

Synced members no longer appear as individual entries while part of an active group. Also: more stable handling of player updates and improved resilience against incomplete server responses.
